In exactly a month from now, on March 13, Pope Francis will be celebrating ten years of his pontificate.

To highlight this milestone anniversary in a 'viral' manner, the Digital Synod has launched a special online map featuring virtual lighted candles representing the prayers of the faithful worldwide for him.

According to the press release: "The Petrine ministry is a great grace that Jesus granted to His Church and we must always be grateful for it. Therefore, prayer must be our best gift, so that God may support the service of the one He has chosen for this ministry because on this rock He builds His Church in time and history".

To join the initiative pledging to pray one or more Hail Marys visit the link below. "In the end we will send the Holy Father the map with the 'little candles' which represent the Hail Marys that are prayed for him, thanking God for His Mercy" the press release concludes.
